WORLD MORALS EDITION XXI

Do not favor the rich or poor in judgment

Decide cases by relevant facts and law rather than wealth, poverty, status, fear, or sympathy alone.

Comparative atlas · Original English corpus · Evidence before conclusions

A mapping is not a verified quotation. Workbook labels are preserved. An absent mapping does not mean rejection. We do not rank the moral worth of any system.

Corpus definition

Decide cases by relevant facts and law rather than wealth, poverty, status, fear, or sympathy alone.

This is the atlas’s definition, not a substitute for a tradition’s own interpretation. Scope, exceptions and translations require review of each source.

Preserved calculation difference

The original index differs from recomputed unique-system or specific-anchor counts. Both are retained; the source file is unchanged.
